Bio
Dick Mitchell
I worked with Brian during his tenure with Great Lakes Cheese by providing Brian with Automated case packing machinery to obtain his goals in reducing labor, related repetitious motion injuries yet increasing packaging line productivity, efficiency and capacity. Brian is a strong leader always leading by example. I enjoyed working with him on projects providing him with quality automated machinery solutions that met his overall goals and production needs.

I had the privelege of working with Brian while he was a Plant Manager for our Amarillo facilities. Brian was able to successfully bring a brand new plant from a new constructed facility to a fully functional successful operation. His experience surpassed our expectations including outstanding leadership skills that lead the Amarillo team to such a successful rollout in such a short period of time. I highly recommend Brian for any role that requires someone who is goal driven, dedicated, and willing to do what it takes to make the job done. I was honored to work with Brian and truly hope to have the privilege again in the near future. He will be an asset to any company he is a part of.
